Everest Doesn’t Always Feel Like the Tallest Mountain

The video discusses the challenges of climbing Mount Everest, focusing on how altitude and weather conditions affect air pressure and oxygen availability. It explains why Everest sometimes feels lower than K2 due to atmospheric conditions and how global warming is impacting climbing conditions. Climbers often use supplemental oxygen due to reduced air pressure at high altitudes, and successful climbs without oxygen occur within specific weather conditions. The video also highlights the potential effects of global temperature increases on climbing experiences.
